At Colby-Sawyer, all students live on campus in

Education staff has three main goals:

with the right college resources to overcome their
obstacles and reach their goals.
2. to work with students to develop residential
communities that are based on individual
responsibility and respect for others.
3. to provide opportunities for student learning
outside the classroom that contribute to the
college’s learning outcomes.
Students are encouraged to visit the “Resources”
section of the college’s Residential Life web pages for
more information about Colby-Sawyer’s residency
requirement, services and policies, opening and
closing dates, and housing during college break
periods.
Renter’s insurance is strongly recommended for
students living in residence halls, which will cover
damage to students’ belongings in the case of flood,
fire or other accidents. There are many providers
available — two have requested their information
